Souvlaki

about the recipe

Souvlaki is a classic Greek dish consisting of


marinated meat (pork, chicken, lamb, or
beef). It is similar to a gyro but the meat is
served on a skewer instead of shaved off of a
vertical rotisserie.

Souvlaki can be served in a warm pita bread,


over salad, or as an entree with roasted
vegetables. It is often paired with tzatziki
sauce.
